Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Lose Ground in Playoff Race, CHL Top Prospects In Town It's looking more like a lottery pick than a playoff spot for the Vancouver Canucks as they enter the All-Star Break in 23rd place overall in the NHL while their WHL counterparts the Vancouver Giants host the CHL Top Prospects Game on Thursday.

Thanks for the writeup Carol

Love the shout out to Raonic

I usually don't cheer for other Canadian teams but having all 7 in the bottom of the league is still somewhat embarrassing

Thanks Carol!

Would be awesome to have another Ronning on the team, his father was the true definition of heart and try! A real underdog success story

At this point it looks like the Flames, Toronto or Canadians are going to finish last. Buffalo and CBJ both starting to slightly put it together.

If we can get Ronning and Johansen in the later rounds, I say we take em.

Isn't Raonic from Yugoslavia?

Ronning in the 3rd round seems like a decent gamble.

Toronto but close.

Not if we trade Hammer to Calgary for a 1st. Then Hammer can get them in the playoffs by 1 point. And then we trade Vrabata + Subban to Montral for 1st and they squeeze into the playoffs by 2 points. We get a top 10 pick and 2 picks in 16-18 range. #dreams. #positivethinking.

Thank you Carol.

We need to draft Defense...screw this BPA crap

I am hoping Wideman gets 20 games. Burkie refuses to believe that they overachieved last year and commands his Gm to trade for D. Since we will trade within the division and one of the very few teams that might be in the right desperation mode and Hammer willing to waive his ntc for, we might get the first. It is a pipe dream, but if it does come true...I am starting my own Rumor site. I will have a better track record then Ian.

But just as dysfunctional as Yugoslavia.

I'd rather both Calgary and Mont miss the PO and we get 3 lottery shots, now that is #positivethinking

I'm having a slow day today, I still haven't put on socks.

If Montreal is going to miss the playoffs, they aren't going to trade for Vrbata.

We cant have Subban injury or they wont take Little Subban. Price injury on the other hand

Wideman suspended indefinitely pending hearing. For sure he is getting atleast 10 games. Better if he gets the rest of the season. Hammer and Weber for 1st.

Bahahaha this is a nice dream. Pretty sure Calgary knows they are a rebuilding team and that trading away first round picks is not happening.

Wholly Hail Batman!!!
